MEATBALL STEW THE STEW 2/3 Cup of Oil 1 Cup All Purpose flour 2 Onions 1 Green Bell Pepper 2 sticks of Celery 1 Bunch of Green Onions 4 Cloves of Garlic 1 (32 oz) Container of Chicken Stock (**Beef Broth/Stock also works**) 4 Cups of Hot Water 1 Tbsp of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1 Tbsp of Parsley Flakes 1 Tsp of Pepper 1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce THE MEATBALLS 2 lbs of Ground Beef 1/2 Tbsp of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1 Tsp of Salt 1 Tsp Garlic Powder 1 Tsp Onion Powder 1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce Water 2 Slices of White Bread 1 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs 2 Eggs Start out by heating a large pot over a Low heat. Also, preheat your oven to 375°. Chop the onions, bell pepper, celery, green onion, garlic, and move to your fridge. Add the 2/3 cup of oil and 1 cup of flour to the pot. Begin making the roux by slowly stirring the flour and oil. This is a time consuming process. You’re going to want to stir for up to an hour or until you reach a chocolate color. Upon reaching a chocolate color, drop in the chopped vegetables and sauté for 20-30 minuets. Next add the 32oz container of chicken stock, a little at a time. Blend evenly. Add 4 Cups of hot water. Add the Cajun seasoning, parsley, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and stir. Bring to a boil, cover, lower to simmer, and let cook for 1 hour. At this time you will get started on the meatballs. In a large bowl add the 2 lbs of ground beef, cajun seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. In a plate off to the side, add a small amount of water. Dampen the bread in the plate, tear the bread in to small pieces, and add to the bowl. Add the bread crumbs and eggs. Mix well with your hands. Roll the mixture into meatballs a little larger than the size of a golf ball, and place them on a greased pan. Bake them in the oven for 25-30 minuets. Once the meatballs are done, set aside in a strainer over a plate until the 1 hour mark is up on your stew. Add the meatballs to the stew gently one at a time. You can also remove the bay leaves at this point. Bring the stew back to a slight boil, lower to a medium/low heat. Let the stew cook for another hour UNCOVERED, or until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Cook some rice, and enjoy!

You stirred that roux for 25 mins? Damn

I like to do green onion bottoms in my initial trinity. In the last hour I add the chives and diced red pepper. It adds wonderful color and another layer of flavor. If you make it spicy, the sweet of the reds pairs perfectly. I do this with my gumbo and his pastalaya as well. Color is important to the palete!

My mother in laws in ICU, my father in law is of course not leaving her side. I made this today and brought him some for dinner. It was so delicious and comforting!

Hello first time trying your recipe and my first time cooking this in soo excited can’t wait to taste it ☺️🥰

I know I have asked this before. I have search on amazon and can’t find it. But could you please put the link to the cook ware again.

I made this with pot roast tonight. It was 🔥🔥🔥.

My son asked me to make meatball stew like PawPaw used to make..he passed away in January. I made this for the 1st time tonight…it was delicious!!

What kind of Cajun seasoning do you use?

Love your videos. Geaux Tigers!

I love a dark roux. Gotta be careful you don’t burn it - nothing worse than burnt roux. Kinda like burnt popcorn. Keep up the good work.

You should start adding in your herbs about halfway through cooking your vegetables. This will infuse the oils and create a much more intense flavor. Especially if u are using fresh Thyme leaves.

I made this for dinner tonight. And let me tell you what. Cajun Ninja knows what’s up.

New subscriber hey everybody 👋🏽 👋🏽Love this video trying this tonight 🥰

What brand cast iron do you use? And what size is this pot?

How does this recipe compare to your Salisbury steak recipe which I love.

I just found this recipe randomly and I find it fascinating because in the French parts of Canada we do the same type of meatball stew, thickened with toasted flour (same taste as a roux, just a different method), but instead of cajun flavours it's spiced with clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. I will definitely make this Cajun version one day and compare! Merci!

South Louisiana also has a lot of French influence. I didn't realize how much influence it was on our cuisine until I read your comment. I love Cajun food. One of the best things about south Louisiana for sure

I used to cook my meatballs 1st also, but have you tried putting the uncooked meatballs right into the stew to cook? They seem to take on more of the gravy flavor and come out much more tender. Looks delicious and now I want stew lol. 😋

Got this on the stove top right now!
